Village Board Meets Tonight to Discuss Waterfront Restoration

Sea Cliff, NY · April 13, 2026

Happy Monday — the sun is finally holding its ground, and if you’re heading toward the water today, you’ll notice the first stages of the boardwalk repair project getting underway.

The Lead

Tonight’s Village Board meeting at Village Hall is shaping up to be a pivotal one for our shoreline. On the agenda is the final review of the Sea Cliff Beach restoration plan, which aims to address the erosion issues exacerbated by recent winter storms. The proposal includes not just sand replenishment but also structural reinforcements for the retaining walls and updated lighting for the boardwalk. For residents, this means a more resilient beach for the summer season, though it may require some temporary closures of the lower parking lot during construction phases. Public comment is encouraged, and with the budget season looming, this is the time to see exactly how our tax dollars are being allocated to preserve the village’s most iconic asset.

Spotlight & Story

  • The Sea Cliff Children’s Library Tucked away in its own cozy space, the Children’s Library is more than just a collection of picture books; it is the village’s living room for the younger set. While the main library handles the heavy lifting, this annex focuses on tactile learning and community building. Did you know the building itself was originally a real estate office in the late 1800s? Today, it serves as a vital bridge between generations, where local retirees often volunteer for the afternoon reading circles.
